Musselburgh Race 3 - Hogmaneigh Handicap Hurdle (Gbb Race)

LIARI (2) won in Listed company here last year. Ran with credit five weeks ago when sixth tackling a 3200m handicap hurdle at Newbury. Serious player. BENSON (1) made all to win this race last year. The ten-year-old has won at this fixture for the past two years. Rates highly. SWEET FANTASY (3) was not disgraced last month finishing sixth attempting this journey at Cheltenham. Can feature. BOLD LIGHT (5) holds a promising profile. Interesting.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up finished fourth of 7 runners at Hexham 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C3) on October 12 over 4000m, on slow going 23 len behind Choose A Copper carrying 74.5kg at $17. Second run from a spell ran last at Newcastle in the G1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle Race on November 30 over 3200m, 38 len behind Sir Gino carrying 74.5kg at $201. Fitter now and should relish the step up to 3970m here. Can improve in this more suitable contest.

Last run ran last at Kelso 3yo+ HCP HDLE (C3) on December 8 over 3250m, slow track; 42 len behind Cracking Rhapsody carrying 67kg at $19. The run before finished sixth of 9 starters at Carlisle 4yo+ HDLE HCP (C4) on November 19 over 3400m, on slow going 5.5 len behind Disco Annie carrying 74kg at $13. This looks too tough.
